The Fifth Point Guard

In the first round of the playoffs, the Cleveland Cavaliers easily swept the Miami Heat 4-0 and advanced to the second round.

The results of other matches are also being decided one after another.

The Pacers, who are in the top half of the Eastern Conference with the Cavaliers, encountered stubborn resistance from the Celtics.

Although Antoine Walker went to Dallas, Boston also came to Ricky Davis, who once thought James would assist him.

In this series, Paul Pierce did not give up resistance. He showed the image of a tough guy who would not fall even if he was stabbed N times.

Averaged 20.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks per game. He put all his energy into it.

But he also felt the pain of being alone, so much so that he averaged 6.3 turnovers per game.

He was in pain and there was no second player around him who could stand up.

He was sad that the flag of the Green Army would be eclipsed in his own hands.

As for the second-in-command Ricky Davis, who originally had high hopes?

He averaged only 11.8 points per game, not as many as Chucky Atkins and Mark Blount.

Pierce's bravery helped the Celtics win two victories, but the gap in strength between the two teams is still obvious.

"Truth" is attached to reality, but it cannot do anything to change fate.

The Pacers eliminated the Celtics 4-2 and met the Cavaliers in the semifinals.

In the second half of the Eastern Conference, the Pistons eliminated the Bucks 4-1, and the Nets defeated the Hornets 4-2.

The Bucks only resisted in the second game.

After losing Ray Allen, Sam Cassell, and Gary Payton, the Bucks seemed to have suddenly lost their backbone.

However, the emergence of Michael Redd gave Bucks fans some comfort.

It is said that Reid was only a second-round pick, and his performance in the first three seasons of his career has been tepid. In the fourth season, Reid, who took the lead alone, began to show the potential of an excellent shooter.

The Bucks continue the Musketeers' tradition.

Averaging 21.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals per game, Reid is already a quasi-All-Star player.

But in fact, Reid has already experienced playing as the core of a bad team.

In high school, Reed was already a very comprehensive player, averaging 25 points per game.

After graduating from high school, he chose to stay in his hometown and accepted a scholarship to Ohio State University.

At that time, Ohio State had been in trouble for four consecutive years. Since Jim Jackson, one of the 3J's in Dallas, left in 1992, they had never entered the NCAA tournament again.

That year, Reed fought alone.

Although the individual performance was very brave, the team suffered a 15-game losing streak.

Throughout the season, they only won 8 games in total.

However, that year, Reed averaged 21.9 points per game, becoming the first true freshman scoring champion in the Big 10 Division, and was selected to the All-American Freshman Team.

In his sophomore season, Reed had a blowout!

Ohio State won 20 games and reached the NCAA Final Four!

In just two years, Reed entered the top 20 in the team's all-time scoring list and became the first sophomore player to win the Big Ten scoring title.

Reed's accurate shooting caused the Pistons to suffer in the first two games, but when the Pistons double-teamed Reed in a targeted defense, Reed, who could not stand alone, fell into the Pistons' defensive shackles. .

Blocking Reid, the Pistons won three games in a row and easily eliminated the Bucks.

But despite losing to the Pistons, Reid's spirit is still high.

Just like at Ohio State, Reid believes next year's Bucks will be completely different.

The outcome of the Nets' game against the Hornets has almost no suspense.

As last year's defending champion, even if they lost the team's scoring leader Shentong, the Nets are still the most terrifying opponent in the Eastern Conference, even surpassing the Pacers and Pistons who are ahead.

Kidd's control ability is particularly important on a critical stage like the playoffs.

Looking at the entire league, there is no second point guard like Kidd. At this time, Nash of the Mavericks is also a little behind.

The Hornets won two games despite losing.

Baron Davis expressed his admiration for Kidd after his team lost.

"He is the kind of person who can take the whole team to a higher level. He is so good and impeccable."

After the Hornets lost again in the first round of this playoffs, the team is about to rebuild.

Compared with the east, the battle situation in the west is surprisingly stable.

The top-ranked teams all won the series and encountered little resistance. Even the game between the Kings and the Mavericks, which people had high hopes for, ended quickly with 4-1.

The experts' guesses are not unreliable.

The Kings side did not perform well in the closing stages of the regular season due to Webber's comeback disrupting the original chemical reaction.

Although the Mavericks' team integration has not been smooth throughout the season, they still have five stars.

Unexpectedly, the Kings went all out in the playoffs and easily defeated the Mavericks 4-1, without giving the opponent any chance of upset.

"German Tank" Dirk Nowitzki is still the leader of the Mavericks. In this series, he averaged 26.6 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 steals, and 2.6 blocks per game. He was completely dominated by the limelight and performance. Passed Chris Webber.

But other players performed very average, and Steve Nash was even beaten by his opponent Mike Bibby.

After this failed season, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is already planning a major overhaul of the team's lineup.

It’s time to dismantle Dallas’ troika.

The Kings' victory relied not on Webb or Peja, but on Bibby.

This guy has been awesome in this series.

The title "White Devil" is well-deserved.

Averaged 23.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.4 steals per game, which looks like the data of a first-line shooting guard.

That's all, let's look at his shooting percentage.

The three-point shooting percentage is as high as 52.5%! And he did it while averaging 4.6 shots per game.

Coupled with the other Kings players who performed normally, it would be normal to win the Mavericks.

It was precisely because of Bibby's performance that Cuban became frustrated with Nash.

Another three-game series.

The Timberwolves' three-headed monster easily picked off the "little melon" and defeated the Nuggets 4-1.

The veteran Spurs don't care what the Grizzlies do, they still carry out quasi-mechanized tactics step by step.

4-0.

The Grizzlies were stripped bare in this series, and Spaniard Pau Gasol's ability to lead the team was also strongly questioned.

The game between the Lakers and Rockets attracted strong attention from Chinese fans.

But the gap in strength cannot be made up by popularity.

1-4.

The Rockets, with Chinese player Yao Ming, fell at the feet of the F4 Lakers in the first round of the playoffs.

After the Rockets were eliminated, the focus of all Chinese fans was focused on the Cleveland Cavaliers, where STO plays.
